Return To Depression Article Archive   The Use Of Vitamins For Depression By Jean Helmet Vitamins are another path of treatment that is available for those who suffer with Depression. There are a number of vitamins that can help depression symptoms. We will take a look at just a few of them. Biotin has recently come into its own in the medical world because it can be beneficial for a number of health conditions. It is known to help lower blood sugar levels and is very popular among diabetics. Diabetes may indicate a deficiency of Biotin, an inactive supply of Biotin, or a supply of Biotin that is somehow unavailable. People are now finding that Biotin also aids in the synthesis of fatty and nucleic acids. It is a co-enzyme in the metabolism of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Seborreic Dermatitis and malnutrition can also be helped with Biotin supplementation. Piperine comes from the black pepper plant. It is an alkaloid found in black pepper. It improves the bioavailability (how much of a drug/substance can be absorbed and used by the parts of the body it was meant for) of nutritional substances such as beta-carotene, circumen, selenium, and pyroxidine B6 and amino acids. Piperine may act as an anti-inflammatory, digestive, and pain relief neurotransmitter. It can ease asthmatic symptoms, aid serotonin deficiency (brain chemical related to mood). It may also relieve gastric ulcers. Vitamin B1 is also known by the name Thiamine. It is very effective in helping to maintain energy levels, supporting healthy brain function, and aids digestion. B1 is a necessity for the metabolism of sugar and starch which is energy. Deficiencies of all B vitamins including B1 can be caused by alcohol consumption. Deficiency of B1 can be indicated by decreased appetite, vision problems, unsteadiness, memory loss, fatigue, and tachycardia. There are other vitamins including B vitamins that are beneficial in the treatment of depression. After consulting with your doctor as to what the best treatment would be for you are always advisable. It is very difficult for those suffering through depression or for those caring for a depressed loved one or friend. For all concerned the best treatment is that which is geared to their needs and one in which the person will participate.
